Any help you may get will be more accurate if that information is known. Also, does it work if you right-click on the web address, and then click either 'Open in New Tab' or 'Open in New Window'? Another possibility is: right-click on the web address, click 'Copy Shortcut', and then paste that shortcut into the address field at the top of IE. Make sure you completely replace any existing address. It might be easier if you open a new tab first. These suggestions are based on the IE8 that I'm using. If you have something else, the exact wording you see may be different. It’s always good if you provide the OS (XP, Vista, 7, etc.) and the IE version (click on ‘Help’ and ‘About Internet Explorer’).

The problem is that it always launches Yahoo, and I would prefer it to launch Sky Broadband which is my ISP. I have tryed to find a way to reset these keys but no luck so far. Have you any suggestions please? Hi

Just wondering if you have ever used PC Decrapifier? The concept looks good. Have to wait until I re-install my PC system or buy a new computer to try it out. Hi Rick!
